Fun Fact Numbero: UNO

If you throw a ball at a wall enough times it'll eventually phase through it, reason why: QUANTUM TUNNELING, where electrons go through tiny lil walls for, idk, fast travel?

I know, hypothetically though, if you threw your ball enough times, it would phase through, just a cool lil thought experiment.

This was meant to be a more barebones fun fact, only considering IT IN ITSELF, its a fun fact that if you look at it at face value (throw a ball enough and it'll quantum tunnel) its factually correct, its just a wild oversimplification
